A Cleaner Future for Tires - College of Arts and Sciences UNC scientists in the department of chemistry pioneered a chemical process to repurpose rubber waste.

54.8 million tires made their way to landfills in 2021. The chemical makeup of tires makes recycling tire rubber difficult.

But researchers from the UNC Department of Chemistry are working on a novel way to break down tires via a two-step process. #UNCResearch
